International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) is set to deliver a major financial impact to New South Wales this month, when it hosts the Reed Gift Fair from 18-22 February 2017.
From today more than ten thousand visitors will be drawn to the precinct, and event organisers expect more than $30 million will transact on the trade show floor, as Australia’s premier platform for buyers and sellers in the gift and homewares industry takes over every square metre of the new exhibition centre at ICC Sydney.
Attendees will be blown away by ICC Sydney’s exhibition halls which have a clear ceiling height of 10.5m and loading dock areas of 20kPa, with 5.6m wide doors provide outstanding accessibility for the most complex structures and props exhibitors need. Inside, guests will enjoy superior food and beverage outlets that reflect the venue’s Feeding Your Performance philosophy, driving energy levels for businesses on the trade show floor.
More than 50 exhibitions are booked at ICC Sydney this year alone. Alongside Reed Exhibitions, all of the major national operators including Expertise Events, Gaming Technologies Australia, and the Boating Industry Association.
Officially launched in December 2016, ICC Sydney is Australia’s premier convention, exhibition and entertainment precinct and will inject an estimated $5 billion into the NSW economy over the next 25 years.
Louisa Theobald, Event Director for Reed Exhibitions, said she is truly amazed by the $1.5 billion venue and surrounding precinct.
“It is so important to us that we find a venue that can meet our high standards and I’m pleased to say that ICC Sydney is one of the most exciting exhibition spaces in the world. The combination of first class facilities, an inner city location and service from people who understand our business provides the best opportunity for our exhibitors to realise their business goals.”
“Visitor registration is higher than ever before thanks to ICC Sydney’s access to transport and nearby accommodation and we cannot wait to welcome our customers here”, she said.

Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said this year’s exhibitions calendar would deliver significant benefits to NSW.
“The exhibition industry attracts more than half a million people each year and generates around $100 million annually for NSW. Exhibitions like the Reed Gift Fair are an important part of our diverse tourism and major events offering and help secure our place as the nation’s events capital,” Mr Marshall said.
“I look forward to building the State’s market share in this thriving sector thanks to our new world class venue.”
